Marvel Cancels X-Men

Okay, call down. Marvel has decided to cancel “X-Men” the comic. Fans of the mutant team still have “Uncanny X-Men”, “Wolverine & The X-Men”, “All New X-Men”, “Ultimate X-Men”, “X-Men Legacy”, “Astonishing X-Men”, “X-Treme X-Men”, and “Uncanny Avengers”. When I read this headline I thought Marvel Studios was canceling the X-Men First Class sequel. Personally, I don’t know how the X-Fans do it. Isn’t it absurd that Wolverine seems to be everywhere?

The final issue of “X-Men” will be issue #41 by Seth Peck and Jefte Palo where Storm puts a team together to search for the start of the next.

I quit comics earlier this year after almost 30 years of collecting. Why? Because of this crap.

I was only collecting a select few X-men comics but at times I was lost because the X-men would have rotating members in each issue because every mutant lived on the same island. I would read Uncanny and say "who the hell is this guy?"

Plus Marvel had (has) a way of suckering people into a new title. Bring on a top writer/artist for the first 6-12 issues and then get them replaced by hacks.

I enjoy when they humorously point out the fact that Wolverine is all over, and can't be everywhere at once. In a recent issue of Avengers Red Hulk and Vision are in a park, waiting for the return of other team members. Hulk comments that Wolverine was supposed to be there as well, per Captain America's orders, to which Vision explains that Wolverine said he had to go to the bathroom. When Hulk says that was 9 hours ago, Vision commented that Wolverine is the type to come and go as he pleases. The funniest part was when he came back.

As a huge Wolverine fan, I am disappointed that the other X-suckas take scenes away from Wolvie. I guess I'm really only half joking as there is a bit of truth to that. If I hadn't picked up Wolverine 125 while deployed to Bosnia, I may not have ever gotten into comics.

You won't get the property back to Marvel, but you'll save any of us in the theatre from having to listen to your whining and hand wringing (something I maintain would be soothed a lot quicker if you just found a willing young lady and indulged in the joy of touching her breast!)
